CLOUDROCK

TEAM:

THERE THERE & TATIANA BILBAO ESTUDIO

Video of the project CloudRock, a single-family home in Joshua Tree, designed by There There and Tatiana Bilbao Estudio.

CloudRock begins with an exploration of a 20 year-long intimate relationship between client andsite, and responds to her life-long dream of building a unique home that enriches the astonishing beauty of this extraordinary desert landscape adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park.

The new home materializes along a sculptural curved wall that weaves through the terrain, framing a distinctive scene of the site’s majestic boulders with each turn. Moving through the project becomes a sequenced choreography of the site.

CloudRock challenges conventional comfort standards through a dialogue with the existing elements on site: the curved wall dances through the landscape, circumventing endemic species (Joshua Trees), and providing shelter from the strong winds; the rising roofs provide shade, making outdoor-indoor life possible.
